With the 2017 Season rosters finally being posted, you will probably notice a big change on the Apex/Eclipse rosters. I wanted to post this to announce my retirement from the WGLNA Gold League, and also to provide some background and say thank you to all the friends I've made.

As you may have noticed last season, I had to miss a week of matches due to work. Because of real life reasons (full time job, travel, etc.), I wasn't able to dedicated as much time to prep/practice as the team wanted. There were even several times I had to play from a hotel on a laptop. This year, my job will require even more business travel, a lot of it international. So I have made the decision to retire. Thank you to all the teams that have reached out to offer me a spot on their roster, hopefully this better explains why I had to decline.

On a more happy note, I've had an amazing time playing, traveling and competing in the WGLNA. It has truly been a once in a lifetime experience and I'm glad I had the opportunity to do it. I was able to travel and compete in 8 live tournaments, both within the US and internationally in China, Poland and Japan. I never thought I would be able to accomplish as much as a team and with my personal performance when I started in this league. I just wanted to list some of those wins and accomplishments:

NA Finals - San Francisco - 2nd Place [LAMP]

NA Finals - Los Angeles - 1st Place [Noble]

Pacific Rumble - Tokyo - 2nd Place [Noble]

NA Finals - Vegas - 4th Place [Noble]

NA Finals - Los Angeles - 1st Place [Apex]

NYC Rumble - NYC - 3rd Place [Apex]

Season II 2015-2016 - Fantasy Points Leader

Season I 2016-2017 - Finals MVP

I wish the best to my teammates on Apex. I have no doubt that they will continue to play amazing this season and will make it to the Grand Finals.

Good luck to all the teams this season, I hope you'll have a chance to experience playing at a live tournament.

Lastly I wanted to say a huge thank you to the following:

Dodoma for introducing me to WGLNA and helping me get on my first team

My teammates that I now consider my friends

Yoott and the WGLNA staff for making this all possible

All the fans that have supported our team and picked me in fantasy league
